My saw makes a very high pitched squeak as you press the trigger, does anyone else's do this? And does it go away through use? Thanks

I am very pleased with my saw, but like most saws it is not quiet. The whine of the motor and the whir of the 80 tooth Forrest blade can get to you after a full days work. However, I would never say that the sound was a squeak. Depending on the temperature, your saw may sound different from one time to the next. A cold saw that sat in your truck all night at 20* will make some odd sounds until it has warmed up also.

The saw has a drive belt and I bet yours is a bit stretched. Easy to replace. Check your owners manual for belt replacement - might be on page 37. That should do the trick for you.

I've had this issue in the past at job sites when the amperage coming to the saw is too low. If it only happens a couple of times it will be fine. It can be permanent if it happens too many times.

I don't think that is normal. It doesn't do that with WORX chainsaw I currently use. You probably should call the manufacturer about it.

Have not experienced that situation. Product has been installed for over 4 years. Have you contacted Monie, they are warranted for life. Not sure if a squeak is included in that, but never hurts to ask.

I have not had that problem. However; I have only used the saw a few times.

No. Doesn't feel like it, but stops pretty quick though. Have never had an issue and use it a lot. Great little saw.

It definitely gets squeaky over time. I've had mine since January this year and it was so quiet at first, but the last two month it started getting loud and I can't find the source to quiet it down.

This seems to be a common problem. I don't think my oiler works at all and the saw is pretty much brand new. I've resorted to using a squirt bottle with oil and do it manually. If anyone knows of a real fix, as in how to take the thing apart and fix the oiler, please share it.

We have not had too much of a problem with the saw. I would suggest if it is not working properly let Amazon know and they will make it right even if the company does not. We have 2 of these saws and we heat with wood, just took down 3 monster oaks, my hubby goes back and for between the 2 so he can give one a rest in between the time he is using them.

The squeaking is relatively normal. It should smooth out the more you use it, and subsequently squeak less. As for the .02mm increments, this is abnormal.

It's a great saw, but a delicate piece of machinery. .that happened to mine, I sent it back to get repaired. They fixed it.

No. There is a noticeable torque twist when you engage the trigger. The saw is well designed and self corrects almost immediately

Yes after a while it does squeak. I use wd/40 I thought it was because I use it a lot. I use mine everyday. I love it.

I have not had any problems with the gun. First of all, is it turned up too high where it is actually driving the nail all the way through the wood? You may want to practice on a two by four to test the depth setting. Second of all, and this is probably a stupid question but you do have the correct brad nails in, right? I have not had any problems with mine - it worked wonderfully for me. Sorry, I wasn't any more help.

yes. the problem you are experiencing is what i experienced. the trouble shooting recommended getting new blade for the machine. I did that and that did not help at all. I think it is defected. I ended up throwing mine out because i was pass warranty and i could not deal with the loud noise and intense vibrations. If yours is still under warranty, then use it.

Joseph Question when the blades are fully locked onto the shaft, the blades still rattle?? Sounds like there's a gap most likely due to the head not fully screwed onto the shaft, did you receive the blade tool with your package use it to apply the broad head. If no examine the clip make sure it is in place between the head and shaft, Mine do not slip nor raddle Keep me posted I'm interested in what is creating the bouncing blades. TY

Mine started making a high pitched, loud, random squeak after about a year- just beyond warranty of course. I've written the company but no response yet- I've changed the filters and kept the unit really clean- very frustrating...

It makes some noise, but I wear ear protection as often as possible. The saw is great.
